....as used in the Commodore Plus 4. Preferably new
*lol*. Hey...you never know...
You'd be mighty lucky to get what you want.
The 7501 is a mask programmed 4bit micro with LCD driver
containing a 1024byte program rom and 96 nibbles of ram.
Where used it's a custom part due to the rom.
Know the part well as I used to be the product engineer.

Well, seams to be a close miss :)
The 7501 is a Commodore 6502 or to be more exact, its
the HMOS version of the NMOS 6510 as used in the C64,
which is a rather plain 6502 with one 7 bit paralell
port on chip. Later on the 8501 was done as a result
of another process change, eventualy leading to the
8502 as used in the C128.
So, if you search for a 7501 replacement, any 6510
might do it ... with some additional soldering, since
Commodore shifted the pins arround with every version.

So has anyone tried substituting a 6510 for a 7501?

They are not drop-in compatible, but theoretically they can be converted (the
7501 has additional I/O lines for the Plus/4's more complex memory banking
strategy). The cbm-hackers or plus4 mailing lists might know more about this.
However, the 7501 is *not* exactly the same as a 6510 -- only close.
Hans is correct in that the later 8501 *is* drop-in compatible.
